[In The Women (1939)] Norma Shearer made me change my costume sixteen times because every one was prettier than hers. I love to play bitches and she _helped_ me in this part.

[on Barbara Stanwyck] Thirty-nine years ago this month, we were working in a film together called Golden Boy (1939). It wasn`t going so well and I was going to be replaced. But due to this lovely human being and her encouragement and above all her generos...

[on the continuing appeal of Gone with the Wind (1939)] It will go on forever, and how thrilling that is. It has this universal life, this continuing life. Every nation has experienced war - and defeat and renaissance. So all people can identify with the ...

I`m doing another Churchill. I did a Churchill for HBO and that was up to 1939 and there`s talk of the war years. They were going to do it this fall, but the script wasn`t going to be ready.

[The red library is Sui`s tribute to fashion maven Diana Vreeland, who served as editor for Harper`s Bazaar (1939-1962) and Vogue (1963-1961).] My most precious collection is my bound Vogue magazines, ... and they`re kind of like my Bible. I look at them ...
